Chapter 1.Thank you bbq
Jane and Maura have been friends for many years and are married. Maura was the former Chief Forensics Medical Examiner. They have had many ups and downs in their careers and their personal lives. They just moved into their new home that was built especially for them. They were living in Maura's home, and Angela still lives in the cottage a walkway from the main house which Jane's brother, Frankie, and his wife, Sara. Sara Jordan Rizzoli is an ER nurse at Boston Hospital Medical Center. Frankie is a detective, too, with the Boston Police department. Frankie and Sara have twins, Julianna Jordan Rizzoli and Julian Jordan Rizzoli. Angela and their other family members love the Rizzoli niece and nephews. TJ, also known as Tommy Jr. is eleven years old. Julianna and Julian are 7 years old. They all go to the same school nearby where Maura, Jane, Frankie, Sara, and myself live. Angela quit her part-time job to babysit her grandkids. She takes them to school, picks them up, and helps them with their school work. Tommy finally married Tabitha Barnes, a dental hygienist, after having numerous failure dates and an ex-wife, Linda James, who died in a boating accident in Florida with her husband, Frank Rizzoli Sr. Frank was the Rizzoli siblings' father and Angela's ex-husband.
Linda and Frank Sr. were out fishing on their honeymoon. Frank senior was retired as a plumber for a private company, and Linda was a waitress at a restaurant in Florida. Tommy, TJ were the only ones who attended their wedding in Florida. Frankie and Jane cut all ties permanently with their father.
"Frankie, Sara, Tommy, TJ, Lauren and her husband Joe, Hope, Caitlin, Nina, Korsak, Kiki, Angela, Julianna, and Julian. Jane and I appreciate you helping us move and get settled into our new home. It's been one week since we moved in here. Lunch is ready that Jane and I made. Jane is improving on cooking. She made the macaroni salad and grilled them meat. Jane and I extend an invite to anyone who drinks too much and can stay here. The kids are staying the night so we can go horseback riding. There are a total of 20 horses we can ride now. If you want to go riding, please be here by nine sharp."
We all sat outside under the umbrellas, serving ourselves hot dogs, hamburgers, macaroni salad, fruit salad, and baked beans. Angela made chocolate cake for dessert with the help of the little ones. Tommy, thank you for fixing the truck. I can now hook it up to the horse trailer."
" Sis, you are welcome. Joe, please pass me a beer and orange soda for TJ."

Dr. Joe Maldonado and Dr. Lauren Maldonado are doctors. Joe replaced Maura's former position. Maura helped him transition to his new position. She now has his old position at the hospital. Joe is aware of his wife and Jane. He quit working at the at Boston Hospital Medical Center as the coroner. He wanted to have a different job than work at the hospital hus wife is the chief at. Maura now works as a coroner for the hospital. She recently put in her resignation over three weeks ago. My wife is less stressed and enjoying her new position with fewer hours and work responsibilities and consistent weekday hours.

"Sis, Maura and MA are doing a good job teaching you how to make more edible food." " Frankie, thank you. You still are learning like Tommy is. My poor niece and nephews were begging MA to teach you two. They got tired of eating macaroni and cheese, sandwiches, and pizza when MA or Sara wasn't cooking." "Jane and Frankie, be nice."
" Sis, I finally was allowed to purchase a gun and rifle legally. I brought them with me. Frankie and Korsak said they would help me shoot better if we can use the indoor range."
Maura and I tell him sure but the kids are not to be present. We all are happy that Tommy has turned his life around and now legally can own guns and rifles.
Kiki, Nina, and Lauren did the cleaning. We made sure we had extra so people could take leftovers. Maura leaves to go hook up the truck to the horse trailer. I and my niece and nephews with Joe, go feed the horses. Maura, Nina Kiki, Sara, Hope, Caitlin, and Angela tell me they will be out at the stables to help feed the horses. I get in one of the golf carts with my niece and nephews, and we are making our way to the stables. I am thinking that I am so grateful my mother divorced Cavanaugh after she found out he was having an affair with a dentist who many of use to see. Tommy is taking night classes to become a dentist
